The president of the Supervisory Agency for Investment in Transportation Infrastructure for Public Use (Ositran), Verónica Zambrano, indicated that there are no clauses in the contract that prohibit modifications to the Jorge Chávez airport expansion project. In this sense, the Ministry of Transport and Communications (TCM) is the entity in charge of evaluating and deciding whether to opt for a dual operation or a single terminal.
“At any time the concessionaire (LAP) can present modifications to its plan, as long as it is more advantageous for operations and beneficial for users. There is no limitation in the clause. The MTC is in charge of evaluating the situation in case of “he maintained in an interview with Canal N.
That said, the technical measurement has to be done by the MTC. “They decide, and if it does not seem like a dual operation, Lima Airport Partners (LAP) will be informed and the original proposal will be returned.”
Verónica Zambrano states that the reason why the proposal for two terminals would be denied is not because the contract prohibits it, but because the concessionaire would be presenting a project that would not meet the improvement and benefit requirements.
On the other hand, the president of Ositran denies the Comptroller’s questioning for lack of clarity in the report.
“The contract is clear when it says that modifications can be made at any time for the benefit of users and operations. There is no limitation that rejects the proposal of one or two terminals, that will be decided by the MTC”, points.
“The clauses are open. Who makes the specific evaluation of the work is the MTC not Ositran, the agency only informs if the clause is clear or not, and in this case it is clear “, Zambrano ends.
